I listen to Amal every shift from around 1130pm-0500. I always keep one earbud with him blasting in an ear with my hair perfectly covering so patients cannot see lol I hope that I listen to his lectures so many times that all of the knowledge gets ingrained in my head until I'm able to recite it like one of his devoted minions.
I'm a paramedic for a major city and I can't explain how wonderful a refresher course this was for me. I've encountered a total of 3 brugada patients in my career, only 2 of whom already knew they had it with AICD. Thank you!
You are a genius sir!!! Thank you so much for these amazing refresher lectures and please continue to post more. It really helps lot of people who are interested in the topic. Recently, I’ve started to listen to your lectures throughout my commute and by the end of each lecture, I feel like I need to add certain detail to my H&P and be mindful of DDX that I learnt at some point. Sir, You don’t only save life’s when you are working, but even with these lectures when you are not physically seeing the pts by educating others!!!
Thanks again Dr Matu . I’m constantly referring to you to my ER colleagues. I’m part of Vituity health are and we all know you and respect you. Thanks for your wonderful teaching Phillip Silverstein MD
I’ve had some very low K blood readings at times. Felt horrible. Muscle cramps weakness. LQT. Got K supplements and an IV bag. I’ve had this for years. Eat peanuts, bananas, salads. Every day. I don’t mess around with my K levels any more.
This is such a wonderful video and teaching tool. Thank you very much for the time you took to teach all of us this. I will pass it along and God willing save some lives!
Heard that Brugada pattern can fluctates overtime , however doesn't normalized for exceeded periods like whole days or weeks but has short lived fluctuations affected by various factors
Thank you for the lecture I myself started fainting last year where I suddenly loose consciousness for a few minutes after I regain consciousness I feel light headed and need to take a sleep the faintings have been every few weeks I can’t drive can’t go to work anymore can’t live a normal life anymore previously I also had epilepsy for 12 years and brain surgery by age 19
I am extremely worried about an episode i had yesterday,i would definitely need some help or advice but the informations i can provide are very fragmatery but i will give it a try.First i have to say i deal with severe stress and the possibility having Brugada syndrome dispite having multiple heart tests and no family history which has lead to sleep to me.Anyway i was in bed tired at 4:30 plus in the morning and was on my phone specifically on TH-cam.Now we jump at 10 in the morning when i woke up and immediately upon i did i had the perception that at some point earlier in the night i found myself under the blanket touching my heart and feeling 2 fast heart beats although it could be my idea(Don't recall shortness of breathing, chest pain or Dizziness but i don't know about confusion or palpitations plus i stayed laying in bed rather having an intense reaction).The other 2 things i remember very clearly were me being on my phone in my right side and under the blanket at(5:40) tired and the other thing was my sister coming into my room taking something and closing the light while only my head was out of the blanket (I don't know which of the 2 events occurred first). Finally at some point it seems like my mother came in and took my phone and said i was snoring. I want to add upon waking up at 10:00 o'clock and having the perception of that event one side of my mind was saying that it was something serious while another side said it wasn't and the very next thing was a headache from stress plus the more i try now to remember the less i can and the event feels even more disoriented although it could have occurred while i was in my phone because anyway i was very tired the whole time.I am very sorry i can provide very fragmatery informations but could have been recovery from arrithmogenetic syncope in rest ?
Interesting talk. My son (age 50) had a sudden death. The autopsy has not been fully completed yet (after 12 weeks), but I believe obvious causes has been eliminated. My question is... If he had a cardiogenic event - would this show up in autopsy? There is a family history of AFIB in that myself and two siblings have AFIB. Do electrical events show up in autopsy?
As of around 27:30 --supposing someone (who does not have WPW) develops A Fib,perhaps for the first time: does the body respond by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous activity to attempt to slow the heart rate and would that tend to cause the A Fib to convert back to sinus rhythm? Is that why some people have short runs of A Fib that successfully terminate on their own? Would this be more likely in the trained athlete in good health than in the stereotypical unfit diabetic type II A Fib patient?
Hi I wondered if anyone here has seen a patient that only has a syncope episode while vomiting? This happens to me I have aspirated twice and come round because of a buildup of Co2 in my system. I am waiting to have a lot of tests to find out what causes it.
Amiodarone is not an AV Nodal Blocker, No. Think Adenosine, Beta Blockers, certain Calcium Channel Blockers, and Digoxin. Amiodarone is a potassium Channel Blocker, one of the only ones.
I want more lessons from my favorite, genius teacher, doctor!

Dr.Mattu's horror stories are the best medicine when you're getting too confident as an emergency physician!

What an amazing teacher! Thank you, Dr. Mattu!
Love this! Sudden death and syncope are often the same type of disease along the spectrum of how lucky you are!

Excellent lecture
Heard that Brugada pattern can fluctates overtime , however doesn't normalized for exceeded periods like whole days or weeks but has short lived fluctuations affected by various factors
History and physical is 90% of diagnosis. I learned that in Veterinary school in 1966 and in Medical school in 1973.

"..and you're called defendant."LMAO, never change doctor!
Could mold exposer cause cardiogenic syncope?
I am a fan
How i can get more lessons from this doctor 🤔
what is azmalin (sodium channel blocker )@14:26
Hi I wondered if anyone here has seen a patient that only has a syncope episode while vomiting? This happens to me I have aspirated twice and come round because of a buildup of Co2 in my system. I am waiting to have a lot of tests to find out what causes it.
Does amiodarone cause AV node blocking?
Amiodarone is not an AV Nodal Blocker, No. Think Adenosine, Beta Blockers, certain Calcium Channel Blockers, and Digoxin. Amiodarone is a potassium Channel Blocker, one of the only ones.
There is no such thing as an echo that doesn't use doppler. Just an 'echo' suffices.
Also "AICD". They are all 'automatic'. 'ICD' is fine.
what is the meaning of @popping his tum? 22:59
Tums(TM) are a medication used for stomach aches. An antacid
patient's being called fakers, attention seeker, etc is common.
